<H2>rotate</H2>
<HR>
Rotate the selection and box clockwise by the indicated amount.
<HR>

<H3>Usage:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      <B>rotate</B> [<B>+</B>|<B>-</B>][<I>degrees</I>] [<B>-origin</B>]<BR><BR>
      <BLOCKQUOTE>
         where <I>degrees</I> is the number of degrees to rotate, and
	 must be a manhattan amount (90, 180, 270).
      </BLOCKQUOTE>
   </BLOCKQUOTE>

<H3>Summary:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      The <B>rotate</B> command rotates the current selection by
      the specified amount, in degrees.  The default rotation is by
      90 degrees.  The amount of rotation can be positive or negative,
      but must be one of the Manhattan rotations 90, 180, or 270. <P>

      If <B>-origin</B> is specified, the rotation is around the
      origin of the selection, not around the lower left-hand
      corner.
   </BLOCKQUOTE>

<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      <B>rotate</B> is implemented as a built-in <B>magic</B> command.
      It is equivalent to the <B>clockwise</B> command but allows
      negative values to represent counterclockwise rotation.
